The Peace & Global Witness Offering encourages the church to cast off anxiety and fear, discord and division, and embrace our God's mission of reconciliation to those around the corner and around the world.  A gift to the Peace & Global Witness Offering enables the church to promote the Peace of Christ by addressing systems of conflict and injustice across the world. Individual congregations are encouraged to utilize up to 25% of this Offering to connect with the global witness of Christ's peace. Mid councils retain an additional 25% for ministries of peace and reconciliation. The remaining 50% is used by the Presbyterian Mission Agency to advocate for peace and justice in cultures of violence, including our own, through collaborative projects of education and Christian witness.  

The Mission Committee has chosen our mission partner, El Comité, to receive the local portion of our donations.  On August 14, 1980, two Latino teens were shot by two Longmont Police Officers. The community was outraged, and no voices were heard louder in their demands for justice than that of the Hispanic community. El Comité was formed by the Latino people of Longmont. This grassroots effort was driven to bring advocacy to Longmont’s Latino population.  The mission of El Comité is to facilitate communication and understanding within the community to improve social justice, education and economic status for the Latino, immigrant, and non-Latino members of the community.
